Regular Preventive Maintenance schedule for xsan volume ??

hi
Is there is any weekly , monthly regular Preventive Maintenance schedule which we should perform for xsan volume like defragment , some commands etc
What are the steps for regular Maintenance for xsan ,servers which apple recommends ?
thanks

Hi,
I do not do such maintainance. However every night a cvfsck -nv is run. This is a readonly file system check. If in the result of this a line exist which says:
Filesystem would have been modified
Then a real filesystem check is needed.
A defrag is only performed on files, not on empty space. It takes very very long, and I do not expect much of it. So I do not do this.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Hi,
The issue is monthly as well yearly function wise preventive maintenance schedule is not generating automatically, Actually we uploaded the data in SAP for specific function wise as per monthly schedule, But right now we are not getting the schedule wise calls.
Production person put the entries as manually through the t-code IW38,
So, Where will be the mistake or any configuration setting is missing?
Please help.
Regards,
Althaf

Hi,
Hope your maintenace plan,task list and items within plan are in place.Also config is in place with no range,call object type as maintenace order,pm order type you have mentioned in plan etc.
If all of above are in place then check for following:
1. Check scheduling parameters for both monthly and yearly frequency jobs.Check scheduling period for monthly job it should be greeater than 1 month..suggest to put 365 days.
2.For yearly jobs your scheduling period should be greater than year,may be you can put 2-5 years so that system can do scheduling on this basis.
3.Possibly you can restart scheduling thr IP10.You can check scheduled calls by pressing schedule overview list.
4.You can lso check scheduling overview and do simulation through IP19.Give period in furture for plans and select maint plan simulation in start mode of maint scheduling overview.
5.If you are able to see calls in scheduling overview then there is a problem in your deadline monitoring.In IP30 check parameters Interval of call objects and it should be nearer to scheduling period you mentioned in IP19.You can crete two different variants for monthly and yearly jobs.So you will able to maintain to differnt IP30 parameters for them.
Please note unless you give detailed and exact problem we will not able to provide solution.
People will generally avoid to elaborate like above.So please try to limit and specific to your problem.

Use transaction "IW38" to select all PM orders for the month. The selection can be based on specific "order type", Status ", "Equipment"/ "Functional Location" or " "maintenance plan" with period interms of date.
Hope this helps...Reward your points and close the thread.

Consider preventive maintenance schedule into PP order capacity planning

Hi PP experts,
My client's requirement is that when a preventive maintenance order is created in PM module for a particular work center (used in production) on a given date, NO production order (which is processed on that work center) should get released or confirmed. In other words, the capacity should be blocked at all for the subject work center.
Could you please guide how to make this effective?
We are using discrete manufacturing with capacity planning. At the time of PP order release, system shows capacity situation so as to decide whether go-ahead even with overloaded capacity.
Regards,
HKV...

First, you should assign the PP work center in the location tab of the PM equipment which refers this workcenter.
Secondly you should enter the sytem condition in the task list of the equipment.
During preventive schedule the work center will be reserved by PM orders for maintenance and this can be seen from capacity planning from PP side.
regards

Hardware Preventive Maintenance Schedule

I'm trying to find a recommended schedule for Sun Server maintanence. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Makarand Gurjar
The purpose of the report is, every month begining maintenance person will give the list of equipment scheduled for preventive maintenance to production department. If that list has planned time for preventive maintenance, it will be very useful for them to release the equipment for preventive and plan the production accordingly. In IW38 / IW39, we will get only the equipment for which preventive maintenance order is created. Say for Eg. If an equipment is scheduled for every month preventive maintenance and the scheduled date is 25th of every month and call horizan is 90%, then the order will be released only on 22nd. If we take the report on 1st of the month it will not come.
In IP24 we can get all the equipment schedule for that month, but in the planned time is not there .

Preventive Maintenance Schedule Feature available?

Hello,
we want to use CRM on demand as a our service management system. I'm trying to find out if it is possible to create scheduled service requests for assets. I.e. Asset 1 gets a service request created automatically every 3 months, Asset 2 gets one every 6 months, etc.
Anybody aware of such a feature or add-on?
Thanks
Tobias

Hello Tobias
I don't think this type of facility is available as of now. But It can be done by developing a webservice application

Maintenance schedule for every month /3 months

Hi Guys
I hope you can advice about my requirement.The subject is that client is installing the machine at client location and they are carrying the periodic visits also. The requirement is that after installation of equipment the perdiodic calls should be genearted for everey months for 3 months. After 3rd month , the next periodic calls will go every 3 months.
Here important thing is that, These maintenance plans should be generated automatically once the equipment is installed. The installation date has to fetch by the system automatically based on the sales delevery to the customer.
Do you any idea about the implementing this process.

Hi
Yes it is possible, but we cant do. Since the equipment installation is happening on frequent mode.Also the installation work is doing by the nurse and they will not have SAP access. Always they work with PDA device. We need the maintenenance plan creation automatic mode once they are delevered the equipment to patients. The delevery completed tick mark selection they do.
All rest of things in back ground system has to take care. Should not be any manual work.

Maintenance plans for Backward counter

Is it possible for having a preventive maintenance plan for a measurement point that counts backwards?
Your inputs on this will be appreciated!

Help !
I am looking for help with Counters and Timers and using them with a Maintenance Plan. We have about 10 count down timers mounted in one of our facilities. These timers are tied to the machine and measures the time until a mini or major PM will occur. These count down timers were previously used with the old CMMS system to assist in the scheduling of maintenance activities. We have recently converted them from the old CMMS to SAP PM but I am struggling with getting the count down timers to work in SAP. These timers are reset at 5000 hrs and as the machine operates, time is removed from the timer. A technician periodically reports these times to the system for scheduling purposes.
I have created the Measurement Point for a Functional Location.
I have identified that it is a counter.
I have it identified that it Counts Backwards.
When I try to assign this measurement point to a Maintenance Plan, I get the error "Only counters that run forwards can be entered"
How can I use the countdown timers to create pre configured (PM) work orders?
Thanks in advance.

Maintenance Schedule Approval

Hi Experts
There is a particular requirement at my client side wherein a preventive maintenance schedule has to be approved by maintenance incharge. How can this be mapped into system?
I tried exploring user status for maintenance plan. In SPRO maintenance plan is being shown as object type for user status, but for some reasons which i couldnt figure out, it (User Status) wasnt assigned to the maintenance plan.
Please share if somebody has worked upon such requirement before.
Regards
Ruhail

Hi Joey and Balachandar
Thanks for the response.
In some industries it is a common practise that maintenance supervisors prepare the preventive schedules and thereafter it is sent to maintenance head of department (Incharge) for approval. Its more or less a formality but it has to be carried out.
In SAP if approval is sought after scheduling there is no way that it can be changed (Ofcourse schedule schedule can be restarted but calls with status 'called' remain as so). And moreover if it is rejected then it will lead to creation of junk data in the system.
Maintenance schedules are as such prepared in Excel and approval in form of signature is sought from deptt head.
Thats why i was interested in knowing if somebody has come across such a requirement before and what could be possible solution be?

Hi,
Let clear one thing that the Equipement is work center for the PP and for Plant maintenance it is equipment only.When creating order or plan some maintenance work on that equipement which workcenter for the PP. In PP module ther is standard functionality Capacity planning of work center in Routing when your maintenance work is going on that equipement then work center capacity get reduced due to your maintenace work which will reflect in PP capacity planning. according that reduced capacity planning production order release.there is no std functinality that you can intimate the PP that your work center is in maintenance not use it. it will reflect in capacity planning of PP routing.According that reduced capacity PP plan the production scheduling.and Production work will get adjusted or deayed according available capicity of PP work center.

Can't mount 3rd party DAS storage and Xsan volume simutaneously

Xsan client(MacPro) equipped an Apple FC HBA card can't mount SGI TP9300 DAS storage and Xsan volume simutaneously when powering on or restarting.
Among 2 FC ports, one port is used for Xsan volume using Xserve RAID, and the other port is used for SGI TP9300 storage which is directly connected to that Mac.
When booting, Xsan volume is always mounted normally, but SGI TP9300 volume is not.
Sometimes TP9300 volume is mounted about 20~30 minutes later.(I attached system.log file)
The LUN of TP9300 is seen at Disk Utility, so it's not physical problem.
It seems that actual volume information is not correctly processed at booting time.
While, after booting the system with the FC cable for TP9300 disconnected and confirming that Xsan volume mounted normally, then connecting the FC cable for TP9300, the TP9300 volume is mounted immediately.
Mac OS X 10.4.8, Xsan 1.4 is being used.

Yes, I think you screwed your xsan volume. You can not remove luns from pools, and you can not remove volumes from volumes.
How important is your existing data? In your case I would concentrate on that. This is not trivial. Theorotically you have lost your data allready. In practise you might have luck.
Once I was in your kind of twilight zone, and managed to keep the data. It is a complete cli job. You have to be very carefull about with your config files. You could hire an experienced xsan consultant. If that is not possible, read the manpages very carefully before doing anything on the volume.
